LONDON, June 3.—Coaching has not diminished by any means in Eng- land because of the popularity of the automobile. This form of sport ap- vears to appeal even more than for- merly to the woman of today, and there has been a move on foot re cently to admit woman members to the Coaching Club, as they have never had a coaching club of their own. Women have long been eligible for competitions, however, and have suc cessfully appeared in coaching and harness classes at horse shows for many vears. Coaching enthusiasts say that the appeal of this sort is more potent than ever, as women realize that they show to much better advantage upon a coach than seated in an enormous au- tomobile, often partly hidden from view. While women here have fig. ured in the coaching world chiefly as passengers, nevertheless there have been, and are, notable woman whips. Coaching, or at least driving one's own coach, is an expensive amuse- ment today, though no more so than the ownership of a fair-sized vacht A coach at the present time costs from $3,500 to $6,000. A good horse may be had from $750 to $1,750, but the cost of a perfectly matched team is out of ‘all propertion to the indi vidual value of the four horses. Although the season, which opened | Coaching Club's meet in Hyde Park in May and extends for three months, is short, running ex- penses are very high as compared to pre-war days. The majority of whips in England are taught to drive from childhood. Good “driving hands” are most im- portant. In the absence of this gift no training can make a_thoroughly ccomplished whip. But, given steady nerves, imperturable atience and sKilled tuition, a taking up four-in-hand driv- ing for the first time may acquire reasonable proficiency in three to fou months. Four-in-hand driving appear easy, say the experts, but it demands consummate skill, while the physical and nervous strain is by no means light with the KLAN PARADE PERMIT SCORED BY COLORED National Association Branch Urges Commissioners to Consider Effect of Action.
